NEET- the only exam.. Or not?

One India One Exam

NEET was
started with the concept of introducing one standard exam for whole of India
for medical students.. NEET-UG for getting into MBBS course.. NEET-PG for
specialization and NEET-SS for super specialization..

This post
is about NEET-PG.

Although
NEET-PG was started to eliminate all state exams, but now its hanging in mid
air.. Before NEET-PG, AIPGMEE was there to give entrance to all government
colleges throughout India. But not all the seats.. A percentage of the total
seats per college.. The rest of the seats were given through the State PG
exams.. And for the private colleges there were other exams..

But then
corruption started creeping in, and to eliminate these corruptive behavior NEET
was started.. NEET-PG would be one standard exam that would give an all India
rank and state rank.. And you could chose the college according to your all
India rank or State rank..

Many
minor colleges stated that their students had a different syllabus and their
students would have difficulty in competing with all India standard!
(WHAT!!!???) So, they went to Supreme court and told them that they wanted to
keep taking state exams.. Supreme court has given permission to all state
governments to take exams but has asked them to withheld the results.. 15-17
January Supreme court will hear the case and give the verdict..

So,
what's going on?

If court
rules in favor of the state government, then NEET will become like AIPGMEE..
And state government will be free to take their exams..

What’s
the disadvantage?

Consider
my state-- Madhya Pradesh.. And consider the state exam taken by VYAPAM.. It's
the most corrupt exam taking body that the Earth could ever come across
perhaps.. Ranks are sold.. Seats are sold.. Kids with political or monetary
support get good departments/ranks, while hard working general students with no
such support or "source" are thrown into the gutter.. That is the
level of corruption.. MGM Medical College, Indore has gone into strike.. And so
has other Medical colleges in MP..

I call
respected Aamir Khan now.. Now do you know why the number of negligent cases
has increased? It happens when people
get good ranks because of "source" and not merit… this is
outrageous!

I don't
ask for one country one exam if it's problem to some students, but I ask for a
corruption less examining body.. This country needs more doctors, but good
doctors.. It's not just quantity, but quality, too..

Let there
be peace, and justice..
